Again, I agree with your claims about entropy. I also agree with the claim that replacing stoves is generally good.
One still does not imply the other. The question was about what makes sense. That's economically, socially, politically, regionally, etc. Amount of energy extracted via some processes is not the same as benefit. However, benefit is what matters. I guess this discussion isn't moving forward from here.
